Entering a café is not about being loved.
It is about owning your presence.
In this Velvet Edit, sociability is audited: small talk as filler, applause as addiction, and the human tendency to overstay in search of validation.
The Velvet way is simpler:
curious entrance, graceful acceptance, timely exit.
Take compliments without dependence.
Leave before the delusion.BONUS Velvet Edit — short interludes between seasons.
Casual things, audited. No solutions. No theater.
